Justin Anderson today underwent successful surgery on his left leg to address recurring tibial stress syndrome. The procedure was performed by Dr. David Porter of Indiana University Health.

Anderson will be re-evaluated by Dr. Porter at two weeks and again at six-to-eight weeks.

An update on Anderson’s progress will be provided in approximately eight weeks.

This puts Anderson’s progress update toward the end of August, long after Summer League but much before training camp.

Anderson, 24, played just 38 games for the Sixers in the 2017-18 NBA season, frequently dealing with shin splints. His healthy return will not guarantee playing time, as he will likely have to contend with freshly drafted wing Zhaire Smith for a spot in the rotation.
